Subject: Removed the compiler's recovery code for illegal escaped characters.
X-Git-Url: https://git.sur5r.net/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a76dcdc4193f566bc7f8a3e14dd26d0ed0951074;p=cc65

Removed the compiler's recovery code for illegal escaped characters.

It caused the error cascade that it was supposed to prevent.
